• In 1997 McKinsey and Company conducted research that involved surveys of 13,000 executives from more than 120 companies. • They discovered that companies that were more successful in
attracting, developing and retaining talented managers earned 22 percentage points higher return to shareholders. • They concluded that the most important corporate resource over the
next 20 years would be talent, and used the term War for Talent as the title for both their report and a subsequent book.
“Five Elements of a Successful Talent Formula”• Install a talent mindset at all levels of the organization beginning with
senior management• Create a winning Employee Value Proposition (EVP) that brings scarce
talent through the doors, and keeps them there• Recruit great talent continuously• Grow great leaders within your own organization• Differentiate and affirm your employees – Differentiate in how you
invest in top performers and low performers.McKinsey & Company

6 Ways to improve employee morale• Give them a reason to believe. Show your employees that they are part of
something bigger than themselves. • Show you care. Be involved in employees’ lives to let them feel valued. • Recognize the good. When someone is doing something awesome, tell them.• Learn the value of “fringe.” You’d be surprised how far a few small benefits will
go with your staff. • Promote from within. • Bring on the fun. An organization that plays together, stays together.

culture of transparency• SWAG – FOOD and lots of it!
